Clari, just get your friends plants/ herbs and convert them! My hearing/ brain is like that, I' m really noise sensitive ( re..although I like iron maiden...! ) i get stressed out if more than 1 or 2 noises going on at a time, if I' m alone (never) I like music normal volume, if anyone with me and there' s talking, have to have it really quiet
Just looked that one up Verd - very nice - thanks for that info. It's a darker one I want to go in the raised bed with all the purpley/plummy planting. I used to have Iceberg in a previous garden which I really liked. I'm only using AJ to fill a space just now - it's suddenly got very leggy with all the rain. It'll get moved to another site later on.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Verdin and Steve, I applied and did a test online for a mystery shopping company, as I worked so long in retail thought I' d be well placed, got sent 1 assignment which could' t do, never heard anything since
Welcome back Stacey - so glad you had a fab time - hang on to that relaxed feeling as long as you can And also glad that wild swan not only survived, but flourished in your absence.
mrsG - good luck with new career beginnings - very brave, but absolutely right thing to do if your current one has lost its sparkle.... Go girl
Hope Lizzie is not in the grips of Garden Party panic .... and that Doves house is now ready for visitors.
littlest chicklet has biology gcse exam tomorrow morning. We all feel a bit sick. Jokes from Verdun, Steve or Fairy most welcome to lighten the mood
But One D at Wembley Stadium to look forward to (?&?&?) on Sunday .... wish me luck .... someone has to do the chaperone thing
That's me to a t Rosemummy! Being around his family is hard work as they have no concept of NOT SHOUTING over each other and talking loud enough to wake the dead (they must think my family terribly quiet and "seen but not heard" in comparison! ) - I'm happiest on my own in the greenhouse with filtered natural noises or my odd choice of music on a low setting. Come Christmas when we're trapped inside with all the family I'm a complete wreak. Must learn some coping techniques it can't do grandma any good getting her tipsy all week so she falls asleep.
I keep trying to give my friend plants but only the lavender has ever survived which is more luck than anything else. They're just too busy at the moment - but at this rate she'll be getting an iou!
Lesley - plants seem to love some well rotted horse muck and its so much cheaper than trying to condition the soil with fertiliser or bags of compost. Plus I really need the exercise!
Right. Time to climb into bed and hope the sun is still around in the morning. Sweet dreams all!
I've been sitting out in the garden watching the bats overhead and listening to the birds say goodnight and fall silent. Then one of the hedgehogs came in to the garden through the hedgehog gate, round the bole of the big ash tree, through the ferns on the shady bank, down the step and straight to the dish of food under the garden bench I was sitting on. It had some food there then wandered across the lawn to another feeding station and the bowl of fresh rainwater that's always there. After a while it wandered around the back of the pond and snuffled around in the little wilderness before going back up the step and along the shady bank to the hedgehog gate again.
Lovely
Sleep tight everyone - sweet dreams

Hi Clari, great your hearing is ok. Does this mean more check ups. Hugs.
Great bargains. Perhaps your friend would like some strawberry plants too
Clari - glad the test went well but my mind is still boggling at the fun you're going to have with the horse muck in the garden
Punkdoc - the cleaners move things to make you think they have cleaned under them
You're posh Panda - none of my neighbours have a gazebo
. Sorry to hear about your arch though. Hope it can be fixed and your plants don't suffer.

No win for me

That is so lovely Dove.
We had a stunning sunset, was it just us or did others get a share?
